Best coding courses to take up this summer

Kids working on computer

With summer camps once again drawing attention, it’s hard not to think about all of the possibilities. What will be your child’s choice? I love how this time of the year brings in excitement and anticipation!

As we step into the pleasant breeze of summer, there is a lot in mind, the vacations, the long-awaited family gatherings, a house full of guests, and get-togethers also it is time to give our young brigade some joyous, uninterrupted fun time.

Summers are the best way to help children explore untouched domains, those that become hard to walk with during regular school time.

Before we get a chance to ponder upon the choices and what is going to be the best bet, let us dwell on the Importance of these summer camps and what value they bring into the lives of our young ones.

As parents, we want the best of both worlds for our children. When it comes to their education and skillset, we often wonder what choices to make, what direction to give and in this ever-changing world, will the choices we make help them in the future, after all, they are individuals with their persona and a mind of their own.

As parents what is our role?

The best that we can do is expose them to the best opportunities, give them a chance to explore all walks of life, and then guide them in finding their path, what they like, what keeps them focused and what is it that they would like to pursue.

How does this exposure to multiple domains/ subjects/Activities help a child?

No, it does not make them an expert, or a nerd at this young age. What this exposure does is, it helps them find their strengths, their weaknesses, likes, dislikes and slowly imbibes in them the ability to accept and understand how to channelize and use them to the best of their abilities.

Let’s code this summer

The importance of coding at a young age and its benefits are no alien to us anymore. Researches have time and again indicated that the benefits of coding go beyond just a career option when taken up at a young age.

This summer introduce your child to some interesting kids’ programming courses that they have not laid their hands upon as yet

Here are some of the interesting programs that we offer at SkoolOfCode and are tailor-made to give your child an engaging experience in the summer along with an opportunity to explore their interest and find out if they would like to pursue the same.

Scratch for beginners

If your child has not yet been exposed to the wonders of coding this is the best course, to begin with, coding for kids in Scratch takes the child through a visual and auditory delight helping them grasp the basics of programming alongside. They will begin with building their creative expression through Digital Art, creating their own compositions and characters, and then move on to code them in Scratch to create amazing animations.

A wonderful way to help these young minds bring their creativity and thoughts to life. Children love building their backgrounds and characters in this course, while some like to create games, some of them wander into the world of storytelling with their own created animations.

Gaming in Scratch

If your child has some experience in coding on any platform and understands the basics, this is the course to go for, beyond the basics, this course will help you develop simple two-dimensional games from its inception to its playful end that are entertaining and easy to play. A course that gives children an opportunity to build on their mathematical and programming skills along with developing a game of their own. simple two-dimensional games that are entertaining and easy to play.

 Once you have undergone the experience of creating your own game in Scratch, the sky is the limit when it comes to what you can create. So have fun and let your imagination run wild.

Robotics

You have a creative little engineer at home, who loves to dismantle objects, loves playing with the tool kit, and an enthusiast who loves to create and bring his own unique touch to everything. Robotics is the field of choice.

Robotics is a great way to learn about programming and electronics, and it’s also a lot of fun, it is a rapidly growing field that is increasingly becoming more accessible to everyone.

We offer courses in Microbit and Arduino.

The Microbit is a small, single-board computer that is perfect for learning to code. It has a simple, intuitive interface that makes it easy to get started. And best of all, it’s great for making things like robots! There are many different ways to use a Microbit in Robotics. They can be used to control motors, servos, and other devices. They can also be used to sense the environment and provide feedback to the user. Microbit is a great way to get started in robotics because they are so much fun!

A level up on Microbit, Arduino is an open-source electronics platform based on easy-to-use hardware and software. It’s intended for anyone making interactive projects.

Arduino is used by people of all ages for a variety of purposes: educational, artistic, prototyping, and commercial. Arduino has been used in thousands of different projects including musical instruments, robots, remote controls, children’s toys, art installations, and data logging. Arduino is an inexpensive way to get started playing with robotics and electronics.

3-D Game Designing

Designing characters and backgrounds in a 3-D environment and then coding it up to create a personalised gaming experience is everyone’s earnest desire. A perfect course for the game lovers out there, challenging and exciting

Game designing is a process of game 3D designing, game coding, and game engine development. game designing is used to create video games. game coding is the programming code used to create a video game. A game engine is a software development environment designed for people to build video games.

The selection of game design courses for beginners is the first step toward game designing and coding. This course helps you explore the game design process from the initial idea to the finished product. You will understand 3D game designing techniques as you learn how to create game concepts, characters, levels, and user interfaces. In addition, you will develop your game design skills by learning how to code in C# and Unity. By the end of the course, you will have a solid foundation in game design principles that you can apply to your own game projects.

Python

Ready to move to text base coding, Python is a simple, straightforward language with easy syntax. It’s also an excellent choice for beginners to programming who are looking for something more basic than C or Java but don’t have much experience in either field yet!

It is a powerful programming language that was designed for simplicity and ease of use. It’s easy to learn, but has enough power under the hood so you can do anything!

You can create simple programs in python, to begin with, and go on to create complex projects and real-life models. With its simple and straightforward nature, Python is an excellent choice for beginners looking to break into coding.

SkoolOfCode provides the best coding classes for kids, enrol your kids to give them a chance to explore their creative side while also learning valuable skills that are highly acknowledged. Best of all, kids can learn at their own pace and take courses at their convenience.
